Challenges that come with the use of ChatGPT in lectures

Challenges

  • Assessment Challenges
  • Always double check the output of ChatGPT!
  • Practical implementation and teacher support. Students learn faster than teachers (we were scared to say this), so there should be some guidance for teachers to incorporate AI tools.

Example

Prompt

You are assigning website users to two different landing pages (A vs B) based on their previous interactions with the website. One group thus sees version B and one group sees version A and you are comparing the number of sales to the two different groups with each other.
The way this study is done allows the analyst to recover an unbiased estimate of the true causal effect of landing page B versus landing page A.

Is this statement true or false?

Example

Conclusion

ChatGPT is a helpfull tool that guides students, to learn faster and get their head around more complex stuff, which should be embraced. However, students should be cautious when using ChatGPT and (luckily!) always still have to think for themselves.

Q&A and Discussion

Are there any questions about the use of ChatGPT by students that you would like to ask?
